A Visit to Cambodia and Thailand,
February 2005
Eunice has
creative ideas. But even I was startled when she suggested that
even Memphis gets cold in the winter, and we needed a winter vacation -
how about the region of Thailand bordering on Burma? It turned
out she was looking at a trip proposed by the New York-based
humanitarian group, American Jewish
World Service. (Click on the name to see their web page.)
We went on the trip,
and it included several areas in addition to the border regions of
northern Thailand. As of early March I'm still digesting the
experiences, and writing about them slowly. The texts here
should, in the main, be considered rough drafts. But for those
interested, here is the work in progress--

The first article about the trip has
appeared, in the Memphis weekly newspaper, The Hebrew Watchman. This
was not bylined, and was edited by the Hebrew Watchman editor from text
I submitted.
